Traditionalism is the primary mode by which conservatives rewrite history and reshape cultural memory. Traditionalism can be not only a reactionary, even hostile, act; in many instances, it can push back or outright erase the profound contributions of individual actors, social movements, and historic events that expose traditionalism's often illegitimate claims to political or ethical superiority. This issue of "RHR" is intended as an intervention into the politics of traditionalism. The articles, interviews, and reviews in this special issue help us to historicize the ways in which cultural memories are formed, challenged, and often erased for the sake of political expediency. They also demonstrate how appeals to cultural memory or national mythology can be used to transform the narratives of nationhood. "Contributors." Adina Back, Eliza Jane Reilly, Jarod H. Roll, Gary Wilder, Lewis Siegelbaum, R. J. Lambrose
"Homeland Securities," a special issue of "Radical History
Review,"" "addresses the complex challenge for radical scholars and
activists presented by the shift in U.S. domestic and international
agendas in the wake of September 11 and the accompanying rhetorics
of national defense, the war on terrorism, and the declaration of
"homeland security." While the agencies and policies grouped under
the rubric of homeland security ostensibly address the safety of
the United States and its citizens, the implications of homeland
security reach far beyond the borders of the United States and
raise questions about transnational mobility, imperialism, nation,
and citizenship.
